    <h2 id="ppdpo-1.description">Description</h2>
<p><strong>ppdpo</strong> extracts UI strings from PPDC source files and updates either a GNU gettext or macOS strings format message catalog source file for translation.
<strong>This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of CUPS.</strong>
</p>
    <h2 id="ppdpo-1.options">Options</h2>
<p><strong>ppdpo</strong> supports the following options:

    <p style="margin-left: 2.5em; text-indent: -2.5em;"><strong>-D </strong><em>name</em>[<strong>=</strong><em>value</em>]<br>
Sets the named variable for use in the source file.
It is equivalent to using the <em>#define</em> directive in the source file.
</p>
    <p style="margin-left: 2.5em; text-indent: -2.5em;"><strong>-I </strong><em>include-directory</em><br>
Specifies an alternate include directory.
Multiple <em>-I</em> options can be supplied to add additional directories.
</p>
    <p style="margin-left: 2.5em; text-indent: -2.5em;"><strong>-o </strong><em>output-file</em><br>
Specifies the output file.
The supported extensions are <em>.po</em> or <em>.po.gz</em> for GNU gettext format message catalogs and <em>.strings</em> for macOS strings files.
</p>
